Organizer of training "physical and mathematical" biophysicists in Ukraine to the centenary of the birth of K.I. Kononenko (23.10. 1908 - 31.01.1978)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the organization of training of physicomathematical biophysicists in Ukraine by Konstantin Ivanovich Kononenko, head of the department of radio spectroscopy of KSU. During the period when K.I.Kononenko was in charge of the Department of Radiospectroscopy (1964 - 1972), he himself and other members of the Department achieved significant scientific success. Yu.A. Petrenko developed an ultrasound technique for the study of solutions of proteins and amino acids (he defended his thesis in 1965), L.D. Stepin developed a method of dielectric measurements used to study structural disorders in biomolecules (defended his Ph.D. thesis in 1965), L.N. Grigorieva developed a radio spectroscopic technique for studying the properties of complexes of amino acids with metal ions (she defended her Ph.D. thesis in 1970), a radio spectroscopic technique was developed for studying radiation damage to amino acids (I.N. Komar, O.T. Nikolov), mastered the methods of quantum-chemical calculations of biomolecules (E.A. Romodanova), mastered the method of "spin echo" of nuclear magnetic resonance for studying the properties of water (B.G. Yemets), mastered luminescent methods (L.A. Chaikina) and methods of biopotentials ( L.I. Zolotukhina) for biophysical research, a method for detecting microwaves by a glow discharge plasma was developed (K.I. Kononenko, S.P. Movchan, A.P. Gavrik, A.A. Tananykhin, N.A. Zatenko, A. I. Yatsenko)
